The 2001 Audi S8: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Audi S8; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2001 Audi S8, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the specs mean
Its powertrain is the 4.2L 8-cylinder with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
By the EPA's combined rating of 15.7 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 47 litres. Expect about $27.48 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$5,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the S8 suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Space, size and seats
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 510 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Try the S8 on your commute, then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the S8 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $27.48 in fuel.
